Knuth already did -- http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/email.html

A note on email versus e-mail 

Newly coined nonce words of English are often spelled with a hyphen, but
the hyphen disappears when the words become widely used. For example,
people used to write ``non-zero'' and ``soft-ware'' instead of
``nonzero'' and ``software''; the same trend has occurred for hundreds of
other words. Thus it's high time for everybody to stop using the archaic
spelling ``e-mail''. Think of how many keystrokes you will save in your
lifetime if you stop now! The form ``email'' has been well established in
England for several years, so I am amazed to see Americans being overly
conservative in this regard. (Of course, ``email'' has been a familiar
word in France, Germany, and the Netherlands much longer than in England
--- but for an entirely different reason.)
